I am curious if there is a market for a "get things done" phone that runs a RTOS like the old BlackBerries and prioritizes LTS and operational efficiency above all else. Given startup cost I assume it would be in the US$3,000+ range which is not crazy for an "essential to business" device with guaranteed 10 year support and would still be far cheaper than something like Vertu.

Unfortunately, QWERTY versions would not enjoy the same scale of economy, mostly due to dexterity requirements that would alienate the usual target audience.
